approaches to sectoral skills development, focusing on examples from the UK, New
Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands and the USA. We
outline four sectoral models of employer engagement, exploring what is expected
from employers within these different models. Some of the challenges and
implications of these different sectoral approaches to engaging employers and
creating demand-led skills systems are discussed.
